Bad breath typically originates in the mouth, where bacteria are ever present.
Bad breath affects an estimated 25 percent of people. it is also estimated to affect 1 in 4 people globally. The most common cause of halitosis is bad oral hygiene. If particles of food are left in the mouth, their breakdown by bacteria produces sulfur compounds.
The good news is that with lifestyle changes and natural remedies, you can get rid of bad breath naturally. The reality is that bad breath can be caused by some health conditions, foods, and even habits. Here are natural ways to fight bad mouth odour:
Green Tea
Research has found that green tea temporarily reduces malodor due to its antibacterial and deodorant action. This is probably due to the actions of the polyphenols, antioxidants it contains.
Aloe Vera
You can make your own Aloe Vera mouthwash to combat bad breath. Simply boil some water and add aloe Vera gel once it is cooled. You can also add peppermint oil to taste.
Drink water
Drink plenty of water and swish cool water around in your mouth. This is especially helpful to freshen “morning breath.”
Ginger
Ginger has many health and beauty benefits aside from its culinary purposes. It can be used to fight halitosis. Just dice fresh ginger, wash and blend with lemon. Rinse after 15 minutes to get rid of bad odor.
Rinse with coconut oil
Sluicing with coconut oil for ten to 15 minutes can remove any bacteria hiding in your mouth to give you fresh breath.
